The ability to get lost in the aisles when a well curated store throws up treasures you didn't even know you needed is one some find very rewarding. Merseyside is full of little shops of curiosity, hidden or on main high streets, collections of them on one road or spread out among the bustle of chain retailers, we have had a look at some you can go and get lost in this weekend.
Despite the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus, Snips has endured due to the hard work and expertise of the staff. Owner Dave Wain spoke to the ECHO last year about the impact of the internet, he said: "For Snips, it ironically had the opposite effect.
"I used to buy punk, and The Beatles was a main factor for me. We got chatting and before long I started coming in and doing little bits and I just became full time here." Jon Sharky, who owns the warehouse in The Red Brick Market in the Baltic, told the ECHO: "Primarily the stock is from what I call the Rock Spectrum - anything from pop rock to some of the most extreme heavy metal. It’s mainly rock that I’m into myself and I’ve always joked that if I win the lottery, I will set up a shop that can deal with every genre."The shop has been a fixture on the corner of Smithdown Road and Ullet Road for more than 20 years.
